    Bought this with a Hoya curtisii label. Googled it for more info and curtisii looks nothing like mine. This does look like Hoya carnosa aka wax plant aka Hindu rope plant. Am I correct or are there other possibilities?

    Also I planted some moonflowers recently and all the sprouts look alike except this one that I could swear I planted with the rest. It looks nothing like any of the weeds I pull in my yard do it seems like it came in this seed packet. Any ideas are appreciated, I know seedlings are hard to ID.

    This is one of the moonflower sprouts.

    hello Κα Hankshaw :-D
    the plant is Hoya carnosa compacta,,
    the seedling needs to grow a little longer to find the name :-D

    Thanks! I knew you'd know, you are the expert. Thanks. I guess I'll be patient with the seedling.

    Love that "swirl" in the Hoya.

    Yes, I'm in love with this plant. It was the only one there, so glad I snatched it up. I can't wait to see it grow.
